The flash has reflected of the paint so the color isn't quite true.
Size 20x30
| This is the start of a blue Heron in a sunrise marshland. So
far at this point I have just done some very controlled pouring.
I use liquid airbrush acrylic There is no painting done yet at
this point. I worked down from the top pouring greys and whites
working in the sun and using a lot of white mixed in with
purple. After it dried I thinned down the white and painted over
the grey and part of the sun. Leaves a cool milky look. Later
using a burnt sienna and purple I poured the islands where the
cat tails will be. I drew in the bird, laid in water within the
body and dropped in the grey, brown and white acrylic. Now I am
ready to paint! |

| At this point I have started working cattails into the back
ground using dark red and brown gouache. Started working on
bird's head as well in gouache |
|
 
| Added more detail to the heron. I decided I want him
standing on a log so I poured acrylics again using Burnt umber,
burnt sienna, and white. Good foundation to build on. I love how
the right side came out looking like bark! . |
